[Networker] null or skip
2011-11-22 11:21:33
I've seen the discussions a few times about the null and skip ASM choices and
how null is
usually what you want to use. I think null is the one I want to use in my
safety net
client/group directive. However, a question (that I'm admitting I want to be
lazy and not
actually test unless I have to):
With skip, I assume that if the safety net group (the one with ALL as the save
set list and the
directive) runs second, that the index is munged and you don't see the files
that were backed
up earlier. Conversely, if I understand this correctly, with null, if the
safety net group
runs first, does the production group see the files in the index and think it
doesn't need to
back them up? If that is correct, how does one assure that a group with a skip
directive runs
first and the one with a null directive runs second? Or, have I completely
misunderstood what
I read in the uasm manual page about null and skip?
Thanks,
